Chapter XXVII

The officers and soldiers of the armored unit of the 57th Division of the Q City garrison were very depressed, this was the third rescue operation out of the city. After the survivors www.biquge.info of some nearby towns and even some cities gathered in some places outside the city, they were escorted safely to the defensive circle by their troops.

I have to admire the creativity of the Chinese people, especially in this time of crisis, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they still have the ability to move, they have participated in the construction of the city wall. In just three days, 800,000 people erected a wall 30 meters high and 15 meters thick. Of course, this is also the guarantee of their survival.

Two days before the outbreak of the virus, because there was a large number of troops stationed in Q City, not only the army but also the navy were stationed here. Even the air force has all moved to the interior of the city, and a three-kilometer-long runway has been opened up in the city, although the fighter jets are basically unable to fly, but the old propeller planes and helicopters can still keep flying at low altitudes, after all, when rising to an altitude of three or four hundred meters, the dust in the sky can cause great damage to the engine, and only the airspace below three or four hundred meters is relatively stable, and the amount of dust is relatively rare, but every time the plane comes back from a mission, it still needs to clean the engine.

Forty kilometers long, with countless labor, the concrete walls were erected in three days, and nearly 100,000 lives were sacrificed for it. Almost all the cement factories and warehouses in the vicinity have been looted, and countless large pits have been dug out of the sea sand along the sea. All the construction machinery in Q city and even near Q city have been mobilized, and people who can only drive in the past have also been arranged to drive cranes and even excavators, and they have begun to work after simple training.

Countless living resources have also been continuously rushed to Q City, from this point of view, the state institutions are still very strong, from the reaction speed of the garrison to the city's response speed is extremely fast. Q is it not that it has not been attacked by meteorites, but because it is an important naval port city, the city's air defense missiles have shot down most of the meteorites, anyway, the heat-guided missiles do not need to mark the target at all, and the burning meteorites are the best targets.

The zombies that appeared in the city were basically wiped out on the third day, of course, thanks to nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers of the army and reserves. However, the losses were also very large, and the large cities with a population of 5 million lost a million people overnight, and even more a million the next day. It can be said that there are floating corpses everywhere. However, compared to the 100,000 troops equipped with spears and cannons, the nearly two million zombies did not pose a desperate threat to the city. In the last three days, it was basically cleaned up, and the population was fixed at about 2 million. Compared with other cities, Q City is undoubtedly lucky, L City has less than 200,000 people who have escaped, and Z City has not even escaped with a large army of more than 10,000 people, and meteorites are attacking the city and the densely populated places around the city like open eyes.

But just more than two million people did not survive a week, and during the day, all the high-rise buildings were emptied, and bunkers were erected on all the streets, and the zombies with guns and cannons could not rush in at all. The outside is defending against zombies from other towns, and the inside is also clearing the remaining zombies in the city. But just five days ago, one night, a group of high-level zombies attacked the city, and the various garrison locations continued to be lost, and the city fell into chaos, and the citizens who had just settled down suffered a catastrophe. Millions of people turned into zombies overnight, but only hundreds of high-level zombies caused this result.

The city's defense line is constantly compressed, and the young men who can pick up guns have long been temporarily drafted. Far from decreasing, the armed forces of the city rapidly increased to nearly 300,000 people. Fortunately, the state's reserves of guns and ammunition are relatively sufficient, and there is even a ship of nearly 100,000 guns that have been snatched up. Of course, no one knows why the ship going to Africa carried 100,000 guns and nearly 100 million rounds of ammunition.

The various heavy weapons of the surrounding garrisons were also transported to the city, relying on the city's buildings to erect layers of defense. In order to survive, the whole city appeared to be extremely united, and every order issued by the general headquarters was overfulfilled. From seven o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the whole city was mobilized, and all those who could move were evacuated to the inner city, and the outer city was almost empty, and the food and water that could be brought with it were not spared. After nine o'clock in the morning, after paying the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties, people finally pulled to the inner city. Three hours later, at twelve o'clock, countless lighting fixtures were erected in the inner city on the Second Ring Road, and only the old and weak were the ones who completed it. At one o'clock, the city's lines were renovated, and at two o'clock, the power plant's lines were renovated. Before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all the lighting equipment was lit, all the power supply in the city was given priority to provide lighting, and thousands of fire points were set up relying on the lighting area. That night, at the cost of 40,000 people, they successfully held on all night, and the zombie group did not break through the defense line.

The next day, the survivors of the entire city were mobilized as long as they could and began to build the city wall, digging sand in the sea, digging pits and laying foundations, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and brothers, erecting a skeleton for the main structure of the city wall, and thousands of architectural designers designed a defense map of the entire city in one night, as well as the drawings needed to build the city wall. Thousands of designers commanded scattered workers, working in full swing. The army drove out of the city to clear the remaining zombies, and by the time it was dark, the foundation of the city wall had basically dug a large pit.

Originally, the city's first plan was to dig a trench strong enough to keep the zombies out. However, that night, the trench that was digging the foundation was half filled with zombies, and the plan failed, so the city wall was built instead.

During the three days of building the city wall, every night it was necessary to resist the infestation of zombies, and people continued to die, but everyone did not complain, and the city was unprecedentedly united. A large number of capable people have emerged, and some of them can even resist high-level mutant zombies with their bare hands.

On the third day of the construction of the city wall, the city faced the biggest test, because the most powerful mutant zombies came, giant zombies up to four meters high, jumped dozens of meters, all the guns seemed to have no effect on them, and they were blown down by bombs countless times, but they got up again. Just when the city was facing despair, a large convoy drove over, and the four-meter-tall crawling zombie rushed towards the convoy, and just when people thought the convoy was finished, five humans rushed out from the front of the convoy, five golden broadswords, and the five people were beyond the scope of human cognition. It was inextricable from the huge zombie, and when everyone was still shocked, the guy who was four meters tall and threw the car with one hand was actually divided by five people with a "knife".

The convoy was the survivor of L City and the headquarters of the Municipal Party Committee, and was ordered to retreat to Q City, and after countless attrition along the way, the large army of nearly 200,000 people at the time of departure finally only had more than 100,000 people left, which was the result of the continuous addition of survivors on the road. One can imagine what kind of tragedy it would be for a city of more than 3 million people to escape only 100,000 people.

But fortunately, the walls are getting taller and taller. Three days later, the 30-meter-high wall was finally built, and the city wall, which had withdrawn from the stage of history, was resurrected again after disappearing for a hundred years. Now the people in the defense circle are basically safe. A few days ago, everyone was mobilized to look for food, and several large grain reserve bases in the vicinity were emptied, and the food in the defense circle was basically sufficient, and the drinking water was also solved by deep wells and groundwater, and the energy problem was not serious, and the coal and oil rushed to be transported were enough for several months. However, the seemingly safe city ushered in a bigger crisis, because more advanced zombies appeared, and it was difficult for existing weapons to threaten them, and the air force dispatched helicopters and several fighter jets to crush the higher-level zombie with missiles. Because the zombie was so flexible, the missile couldn't hit it directly, and the damage caused by the aftermath of the explosion didn't have much of a lethal effect on it.

There are constantly survivors rushing to Q City, but there are also zombies following the survivors. The whole city is under siege, so send them these armored troops to pick up the survivors.

The convoy soon approached the open space near the outer city and the inner city, the city wall was built on the outer ring road, nearly 200 meters of open area, there were no buildings, of course, even if there were buildings, they were bombed. Most of the buildings and houses in the outer city have been blown down, and the air force even sent bombers to bomb the outer city at night. However, the bombing could not last, because the planes could not fly at all, and flying at low altitudes was too fuel-intensive and dangerous.

From the perspective of Luo Cannon, this is undoubtedly the best place for the zombies to ambush, because after another one or two hundred meters, it will be close to the open area, and the fire on the city wall can support here.

The tank cluster was also forced to compress together, because the ruins in front of it were too high, and only a road was opened from the original road to pass, as long as they entered the open area, these cars and people were basically guaranteed to live, after all, the tens of thousands of people on the city wall were not vegetarians, and the fire support was absolutely in place.

Tanks have the advantage of dispersing and gathering, and when they are gathered, the firepower is undoubtedly much more concentrated, but when faced with a threat from close range, the ability is suppressed. When the tanks are dispersed, it is possible to support friendly tanks that are close with fire.

Several military vehicles and tanks were all set up with heavy machine guns, and in the sporadic ordinary zombie attacks just now, the heavy machine guns did not fire, but some soldiers attacked with assault rifles in their hands. This is also related to their combat experience, after these few days of training, the soldiers have long mastered the basic characteristics of some zombies, they are used to seeing dead people, and most of the comrades-in-arms around them have changed several waves, and they are extremely strong psychologically.
